5. Ease of Use: poor

6. Your reaction to the program: I like SlideRocket but for me I think if was going to make a slide show presentation that I would just use powerpoint because it has more editing tools. Even the feature where you can share with someone could be done on Google Docs Presentations. I don't think that I would use this in my classroom because their better program options out there.
